Maine Sunday Telegram #1 Bestseller
"A first-rate novel. Suspenseful and highly entertaining." -- New
York Times bestselling author Gayle Lynds
Fall in Portland, Maine usually arrives as a welcome respite from
summer's sweltering temperatures and, with the tourists gone, a return
to normal life--usually. But when a retired cop is murdered, things heat
up quickly, setting the city on edge.
Detective Sergeant John Byron, a second-generation cop, is tasked with
investigating the case--at the very moment his life is unraveling. On
the outs with his department's upper echelon, separated from his wife,
and feeling the strong pull of the bottle, Byron remains all business as
he tries to solve the murder of one of their own. And when another
ex-Portland PD officer dies under suspicious circumstances, he quickly
realizes there's much more to these cases than meets the eye. The closer
Byron gets to the truth, the greater the danger for him and his fellow
detectives.
This taut, atmospheric thriller will appeal to fans of Michael Connelly
and John Sandford.
